Having made thirty-hve miles when we
reached Salisbury decided not to return to
the New Forest that night. but to make very
early start Friday morning We werc on the
road ty o'clock, but did not return via
Romsey, taking instead tho Christ Church
road and entering the forest by Fording
bridge and thence on to Ridinghood. From
Ridmghoo1 we took the machine across the
Forest on tho Poole road, and by the after
noon of Friday had seen good deal of the
New Forest. There are two reasons why
person cannot thoroughly explore the New
Forest on q tricycle.. First, the roads in parts
mako it difficult, and, second, it is extremely
troublesome to find your way about if You
once leave the public road. AT Lyndhurst,
therefore, we left our machine, hired a car
riagc and driver, and spent several hours i'll
parts of the forest not to he ridden through
with comfort on a tricycle. The area of the
New Forest is of great extent, reaching from
tho Wiltshire border to the sea coast, north
and south, and from the Southampton water
10 Poole harnor, cast ana west. ~ good deal
Of this is open heath or inclOSed agricultural
land. The real forest scenery VIII he found
